thanks david,

I think its just me being picky!

just to continue this i was looking at the dayi backs on ebay. i have seen 2 with a slight difference. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DAYI-Multi-Format-6x4-5-6x6-6x9-6x12-Roll-Film-Back-Holder-Magazine-4x5-Camera-/170958503930?pt=US_Film_Backs_Holders&hash=item27cdebbffa on this version notice that where t...

thanks guys,

in terms of scanning im lucky enough to have access to a flextight x5 so i should be able to scan 6x12 without a problem

and i did look at the 6x17, i think it would be a little too wide for me!

yes I was a little concerned about the plastic build! think i will go for the Dayi thanks for the advice.

sadly most of the drinking had to be given up for film already but i will sacrifice the rest for the sake of LF!

ah ok gotcha thank you for clearing that up

i will be shooting something in the new year which will ideally include the 6x12, so as and when i progress I will get some stuff up on here.

will be asking about the the dayi back in the equipment forum.
